Our Work

Everything we do is to stop men dying too young

The state of men’s health is in crisis. Men experience worse longer-term health than women and die on average six years earlier. Prostate cancer rates will double in the next 15 years. Testicular cancer rates have already doubled in the last 50. Three quarters of suicides are men. Poor mental health leads to half a million men taking their own life every year. That’s one every minute.

Our fathers, partners, brothers and friends are facing this health crisis and it’s not being talked about.

We can’t afford to stay silent.

“In truth, there are a lot of blokes out there doing it tough, but the tragedy is, we don’t talk about it.”

“I've worked in hospitals and clinics throughout my career. In those settings it’s often difficult to discuss men’s health in a down-to-earth way.”

The Movember Foundation is uniquely placed to address the crisis at a global level. We’re funding ground-breaking projects all over the world, engaging with men where they are, to understand what works best, to help make change happen sooner.

Our goals are big, but the impact of doing nothing is bigger. We need to act.

By 2030, we’ll reduce the number of men dying prematurely by 25%.

What does this future look like? Half as many men dying from prostate and testicular cancer. Half as many men suffering serious side effects as a result of their treatment. A quarter fewer men dying from suicide.

Help us get there.

“I'd like to imagine my son growing up in a world where prostate cancer can be cured. In a world where the way Dad freely talked about his health and his regular health checks isn’t unique, but the norm.”

Give men the facts

Change behaviour for the better

Create services that work for men

Bring the brightest minds together

Listen to the community and advocate for men

“Three years after my diagnosis, I’ve enjoyed my first year of marriage, run my first marathon, realised my dream to become a firefighter, and now I’m expecting my first child in November. I’m determined to never take a day for granted.”

Innovating on a global scale.

We cannot achieve our goals without building a movement with partners at all levels of government, research and civil society. This has to happen globally, with results shared across borders to extend our reach. We're creating innovative solutions, using new ideas and new technology to solve long-standing problems.
